On Tuesday, October 25, a bright flash lit up the sky near Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia.

The mysterious flying object has left many scratching their heads over what exactly it is. At first, people thought it was the ICBM RS-18 intercontinental ballistic missile launched by Vladamir Putin’s military in Orenburg, but that missile testing would have been seen much earlier in the day.

Some experts believe it is a man-made object, while others think it is a bolide, which is a large meteor that explodes in the atmosphere before it touches the ground. Either way, it must have been an incredible (and unsettling) sight for those who witnessed it.

More often than not, seeing strange lights in the sky fills people with terror. Sure, it might not be a UFO, but seeing bizarre lights isn’t usually a good sign. From what movies tell us, it usually means that something bad is about to happen.

Well, residents in Los Angeles saw a bright light moving through the sky over the weekend. Panic immediately ensued. People started speculating about what it could mean just as quickly as it appeared.

Apparently, the light was from a missile test off of the USS Kentucky, but some people still believe that it was something more malevolent. I can’t say that I blame them. This is exactly how the government would react if they were trying to cover up an alien invasion!
